As we all know, the Far Left often resorts to extreme measures to support their idea that all guns, especially handguns, are bad.
The Far Left may have set a new low in trying to make their point. In a recent video message, these Far Left activists directly encourage school children to steal a (presumably loaded) firearm from their parents’ bedroom and take that same gun to school and place it on a teacher’s desk.
With barely thinking about how outlandish this attempt at a “Public Service Message” is, I can readily think of three questions I would like to ask the director and producers of this message.
1. How many different laws did this video encourage the kids to break?
1a. Sub question – How many laws were broken when this video was made?
2. Do feelings that “[you] don’t feel safe with a gun in [your] house” absolve you of the multiple felonies that you just committed?
3. How much more danger are you encouraging to be created if other kids who watch the video actually follow the example of the kid in the video by taking a gun to school?
There are many more questions to be asked here. And I sure hope that none of my tax dollars went to support this message.
A Day Called Christmas
I think that sometimes as Christians we forget the importance of offering the non-secular, evangelical expression of “Merry Christmas” to someone.
Despite what anyone or any court says, any recognition of Christmas is an affirmative and definitive statement that Father God chose to send His only Son in the form of a Man so that all mankind can be redeemed and reconciled back to Father God. To me, proclaiming “Merry Christmas” is the simplest method of proclaiming the Gospel message.
With the above said, leaders, including political leaders, should not be afraid to publicly express the same sentiment. Historically, the United States is a Christian nation despite what many say. The United States first officially observed Christmas as a holiday as a result of a law passed in 1870 while Ulysses S. Grant was President. By subsequently enacted laws, the United States expanded its’ observance of Christmas in 1885 and later in 1968. I note that it was the Democrat Party who was in control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate when the 1968 bill was passed. And, it was a Texas born Democrat President, Lyndon Baines Johnson, who signed the bill into law.
Although under direct assault by a vocal minority, the United States still observes Christmas as a national holiday. That standing observance by the Federal government still means nothing less than the proud and bold proclamation that Father God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to redeem man from sin.
The United States is a Christian nation. Don’t let anyone convince you of anything less.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
